- * When running handlebars statements to execute on the context of the automation it possible user's may input handlebars

- * like operators. These are not supported by handlebars and therefore the statement will fail. This function pre-processes will
- * the handlebars statement so it instead reads as "{{steps.0.revision}}" which is valid and will work. It may also be expanded
